Installing a Line Card in an EX 8200 series Switch

EX 8200 series switches have field-replaceable unit (FRU) line cards that can be
installed in the line card slots on the front of the switch chassis. The line cards are
hot-insertable and hot-removable: You can remove and replace them without powering
off the switch or disrupting switch functions.
Before you begin installing a line card in an EX 8200 series switch:
Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage
(see Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage on EX-series Switches).
If there are any transceivers installed in the line card, remove them before you
install the line card. For instructions on removing transceivers, see Removing a
Transceiver from an EX-series Switch.
Ensure that you know how to handle and store the line card (see Handling and
Storing Line Cards in EX 8200 series Switches).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install a line card in
an EX 8200 series switch chassis:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
To install a line card in an EX 8200 series switch (see Figure 2):
Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and
1.
connect the strap to the ESD point on the switch chassis (see Figure 1). The ESD
point is at the same location on EX 8208 and EX 8216 switches.

If the line card slot has a cover panel on it, use the Phillips (+) screwdriver,
2.
number 2 to remove the captive screws on each side of the cover panel. Save
the cover panel and the screws for later use.
CAUTION: Do not lift the line card by holding the ejector levers on the faceplate or
the edge connectors. The levers cannot support the weight of the line card. Lifting
the line cards by the levers might bend them. Bent levers prevent the line cards from
being properly seated in the chassis.
